Are you having troubles deciding whether to purchase Rock Band 2 or Guitar Hero: World Tour?  Maybe this will help you in your decision making process.  Proud owners of the Lips microphones will soon be able to use them while playing Rock Band 2, says Harmonix and MTV.

“Microsoft and MTV Games are working together to ensure that consumers will be able to use the wireless mics from ‘Lips’ with ‘Rock Band 2’ after launch,” said the companies in an e-mailed statement. “More details on timing to come. Harmonix and MTV Games strive for all third-party controllers to work with the ‘Rock Band’ games, fitting with Harmonix’ open-platform philosophy for controllers.”

It is always welcoming news for companies to support third party peripherals.  Hopefully the update will come in the next few weeks and not months from now.  Will this news help sway any of you Lips owners into purchasing Rock Band over Guitar Hero?
